House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) stalled the coronavirus bill and released one of her own on Monday which demands all corporations receiving bailouts investigate "pay equity" of "racial and ethnic minorities" as "compared to their white counterparts" and "maintain officials and budget dedicated to diversity and inclusion initiatives for no less than 5 years."

"COVID–19 Aid Oversight Panel, in conjunction with the SIGTARP, shall collect diversity data from any corporation that receives Federal aid related to COVID–19, and issue a report that will be made publicly available no later than one year after the disbursement of funds," the Pelosi bill text reads.

(1) EMPLOYEE DEMOGRAPHICS.—The gender, race, and ethnic identity (and to the extent possible, results disaggregated by ethnic group) of the corporation’s employees, as otherwise known or provided voluntarily for the total number of employees (full- and part-time) and the career level of employees (executive and manager versus employees in other roles).

(2) SUPPLIER DIVERSITY.—The number and dollar value invested with minority- and women-owned suppliers (and to the extent possible, results disaggregated by ethnic group), including professional services (legal and consulting) and asset managers, and deposits and other accounts with minority depository institutions, as compared to all vendor investments.

(3) PAY EQUITY.—A comparison of pay amongst racial and ethnic minorities (and to the extent possible, results disaggregated by ethnic group) as compared to their white counterparts and comparison of pay between men and women for similar roles and assignments.

(4) CORPORATE BOARD DIVERSITY.—Corporate board demographic data, including total number of board members, gender, race and ethnic identity of board members (and to the extent possible, results disaggregated by ethnic group), as otherwise known or provided voluntarily, board position titles, as well as any leadership and subcommittee assignments.

The $2.5 trillion bill also says that all corporations getting federal aid "must maintain officials and budget dedicated to diversity and inclusion initiatives for no less than 5 years after disbursement of funds."

The bill also would establish a new "Minority Bank Deposit Program" to "expand the use of minority banks and minority credit unions."

The Free Beacon reported Pelosi's bill mentions "diversity" 32 times and the word "inclusion" 14 times.
